My junior sister pretends to be good and deceives people every day

Zhan Ying understood this attitude instantly.

He casually bowed to Yan Zhiqiao, then sat down opposite Jiang Ciyuan.

"Master, this is the garden of Atang and I."

Yan Zhiqiao knew Zhan Ying's true purpose very well, so he didn't take his deliberate reminder seriously.

"Oh."

She responded coldly and said nothing more.

Seeing that Yan Zhiqiao was as indifferent as ever, Zhan Ying didn't say anything. He just shamelessly conjured up a teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

Although he had already learned the true relationship between the two from Yan Zhiqiao, Jiang Ciyuan was still shocked when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

That's the legendary Demon Lord who's known for his ruthless killing...

But now he is so respectful in front of Qiao Qiao?

No matter how he looked at it, he felt it was a bit magical.

Jiang Ciyuan's gaze was too obvious, and Zhan Ying's attention was on him, so it was natural to change the subject.

"Young Master Jiang seems surprised?"

After restraining his aura, Zhan Ying lost his frightening majesty and gained some of the amiable graciousness of an elder.

It’s a pity that Jiang Ciyuan was well aware of Zhan Ying’s dangerousness. Even though he acted very kindly at the moment, he did not let down his guard at all.

"Yes."

The slightly honest answer made Zhan Ying curl his lips.

"It's okay. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often."

Jiang Ciyuan was silent, not knowing what to say.

He wanted to be with Yan Zhiqiao forever, but as for Zhan Ying...it was better to avoid seeing her as much as possible.

Zhan Ying could feel Jiang Ciyuan's silent resistance and rejection, but he didn't take it to heart.

After taking a sip of tea, he looked at Yan Zhiqiao.

"Master, when do you plan to marry into the Dragon Clan?"

Yan Zhiqiao: “…”

Jiang Ciyuan: “!!!”

The former looked coldly at Zhan Ying who was bringing up something irrelevant, his deep deer eyes full of warning.

The latter knew that the current situation did not allow it, but still cast a look of implicit expectation at Yan Zhiqiao.

As the instigator, Zhan Ying not only did not take Yan Zhiqiao's warning seriously, but instead looked like he was enjoying the show.

"Last night's incident has made your relationship with Young Master Jiang known to everyone. You should give an explanation, right?"

As the conversation changed, his tone became more playful.

"Or... Master really wants to owe this debt of love and not take responsibility for Young Master Jiang?"

Yan Zhiqiao really wanted to kick Zhan Ying out, but she held back.

She caught a glimpse of Jiang Ciyuan's expression from the corner of her eye, and she didn't show much emotion.

"Right now, the righteous and demonic tribes are at loggerheads. A marriage at this time would make us a target of public criticism, regardless of whether the dragon tribe agrees or not."

What she said made sense, but Jiang Ciyuan cared more about her attitude.

Judging from her words and tone, she doesn't seem to object to marrying him!

Realizing this, Jiang Ciyuan's eyes suddenly brightened.

In front of two experienced and shrewd people, he still seemed a little immature.

That little bit of joy fell into the eyes of the two. Yan Zhiqiao didn't care too much, but Zhan Ying couldn't help but think of Yan Tang.

In the past, Atang had been treated well by him, and he couldn't hide his feelings at all.

"Master has always been unscrupulous in achieving his goals. Why are you now worrying about insignificant people?"

The one who responded to Zhan Ying's teasing was Jiang Ciyuan.

That little bit of joy disappeared in an instant. He looked at Zhan Ying with a cold face and retorted in a resounding voice.

"They are my people, not insignificant people."

Zhan Ying paused, his eyes turning cold in an instant.

Although Jiang Ciyuan's current identity is quite special to him, he has no relevant memories and emotions after all, so Jiang Ciyuan's attitude seems somewhat offensive and insolent to him.

What those in a higher position hate the most is the ingratitude of those below them.

But he was not a petty person, and that hint of displeasure disappeared in a flash.

He nodded as if indulging, yet also as if indifferent.

"The Japanese Master saw that you were willing to protect your master at the cost of your own life, and thought that you had already made a choice between the righteous path and her."

When mentioning this matter, Jiang Ciyuan did not feel guilty at all.

"In my opinion, protecting Qiao Qiao does not conflict with protecting the people of the world."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Ying suddenly laughed, clearly mocking Jiang Ciyuan's "naivety".

"But what if what you want to protect is exactly what Master wants to destroy the most?"

Before Jiang Ciyuan, who looked stunned, could respond, Yan Zhiqiao spoke up to defend him.

"Only useless people would use such meaningless assumptions to embarrass others. With me, he can choose whatever he wants, or even not choose at all. I'll cover for him anyway."

Today Jiang Ciyuan wants to protect the people, so she can restrain her desire to destroy the world a little.

If he wants to destroy the world tomorrow, she will provide him with all the support he needs.

As long as she is around, Jiang Ciyuan can do whatever he wants and live without restraint.

Zhan Ying: “…”

As Yan Zhiqiao's apprentice, she never gave him a choice!

Although there was no deep master-disciple relationship, Zhan Ying still felt a little heartbroken at this moment.

Why does Jiang Ciyuan receive the unconditional doting from his master?

Zhan Ying looked at Yan Zhiqiao with an indescribable look.

"Your preference is too blatant."

What made him feel even more mixed emotions was that he deeply knew that Master was truly capable of doing what he said.

"Oh."

Yan Zhiqiao had a blank expression and remained indifferent.

"and then?"

Zhan Ying: “…”

One day he will be pissed off to death by his master!

Zhan Ying didn't want to make himself look bad anymore, so he dropped his teacup and stood up.

"Disciple should go practice first."

Without waiting for Yan Zhiqiao to answer, he casually bowed and turned away.

After Zhan Ying's figure disappeared, Jiang Ciyuan looked at Yan Zhiqiao with a complicated expression.

"Although I'm happy to be protected by you, but... don't I seem too useless?"

"What is useful? What is useless?"

Yan Zhiqiao could understand that Jiang Ciyuan, as a man, had a certain self-esteem.

But in her opinion, she was stronger than Jiang Ciyuan, so protecting him was natural.

"As long as you give your all within your capabilities, no matter what the final result is, you are the best."

"But if you're faced with something far beyond your capabilities, and you still insist on going your own way and hitting a wall, you're a fool."

"What's more, if you stay with me, the safety of all the people in the three realms will be guaranteed. How can you be useless?"

After the last words fell, Yan Zhiqiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the way of heaven had indeed grasped her weak spot.

But she is also more fortunate that she has no emotional ties and does not have too many human emotions, otherwise her bottom line will definitely be retreated again and again.

Jiang Ciyuan has a strong sense of self-esteem, but he is more self-aware.

He knew very well that between him and Yan Zhiqiao, he was the weaker party in every aspect.

If it were another man with a strong will, he would probably have long been unable to tolerate being suppressed in every way.

——Even if the person pressing him down is his beloved.

Jiang Ciyuan is different. He is not only proud of Yan Zhiqiao, but also more attracted to her because of her preference.
